I'm really sorry, but 5.8.2 is a *very* old version of Perl, and there have been many new releases in the 5.8.x branch since then. I wish I had the time to down down bugs with autodie in very old versions of Perl, but there's an excellent chance this may be tickling a bug in perl itself, which can only be properly fixed by upgrading perl. If you're still encountering these same issues on a recent 5.8.x release (at least 5.8.5, and preferably 5.8.8 or 5.8.9), then do let me know. All the best, Paul

Well, that is all fine, except that if you require a newer version of Perl as a minimum, you should adjust your META.yml to reflect that the latest supported version is 5.8.5, not 5.8.0.

Still has 5.8.0 as the minimum required Perl version, not something > 5.8.2

Hi, Judging from the Changes file, this was fixed in v2.15[0]. I am marking this as resolved with v2.15 as first fixed version. ~Niels [0] Technically there was a fix in v2.14, but it typo'ed the version and required v5.8.40 instead of v5.8.4. I figured it would be better to consider that as "broken". :)
